Predictors of mortality in outborns with neonatal sepsis: A prospective observational study.

Background: Neonatal sepsis-related mortalities are the outcome of a complex interaction of maternal-foetal colonisation, transplacental immunity and physical and cellular defence mechanisms of neonates.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the risk factors of mortality in outborn neonatal sepsis.

Materials And Methods: A 1-year prospective observational study was undertaken at a tertiary care centre.
